My Day

Well, the day is quite well spent, except from the very fact that I was not feeling well.

Germin fetched me to school at 6.45am in the morning. Upon reaching, we jogged into admiralty park, which is in the compound of my school.

My my my, little did I know that the park which I have not stepped into throughout my 3 years in the campus is so amazing. There is a pond of lilies, mangroves swamps, trails which remind me of OBS days. There are also little bridges for us to just stoop over and admire the amazing greeneries.

I was glad we jogged there, also because of the abundance of oxygen and shelter provided by the trees. On top of that, we also had a chance to watch monkeys mud bathing themselves in the mangrove swamps, it was a beautiful sight indeed. But coming back to it, Germin and I was thinking, what has mangrove swamps got to do with monkeys?

Well, we jogged one more round, and covered a total of around 4-5km. Germin is sick and he was gasping already, therefore we stopped. This crazy friend of mine still jogs when he is sick just because he wants to burn that 4KG weight gain over the past few months.

Well, we went for a light breakfast, and talked about alot of stuffs. I would say, Germin is one of the closest teacher I have in my life. He encouraged me how to do things right, do things fast, and do things effectively. Without him, I wouldn't have grew from a slack student to a top student. I am very glad I know him in my life.

Anyway, we slacked in the library from 9.30am onwards, and I slept till lunch time. After lunch, the rest came, and we started our routine bridge training session.

It was still alright, and Simon introduced a new game named "Where's my fish?". It is a very fun territorial game which is highly intellectual. CTK and I had a fun time teasing Germin and his fish. hahahah insider joke.

I learnt something today, and I am glad Germin is there to coach us. We left school at 8.30pm, my oh my, I spent 13hours 30 minutes in school today.

Well, I want to accomplish my dream, of getting into national youth bridge team this year.

Feeling feverish and moody now... I need someone to cheer me up! Haha....

Can't wait till tml, and hope that my fever goes down, so that I can totally have fun at the floorball event....

Happy New Year!

Match Reflections

Hmm, since Im cooled down and able to think more clearly, I shall reflect on the match.

We started the season facing off NTU, thinking they are easy to defeat, we got complacent, out paced, out played and lost 5-1.

Second game was VS, same mentality, but this time we got abit luckier since they are really a bunch of inexperienced floorball players, but 4-1 is not exactly a good margin.

Third game, yesterday, we stepped onto the court, full of uncertainty, afraid to lose, and we knew that we are not as good as the other team in terms of team synergy and dynamics.

The first period, everyone was focused, we planned the attack down the boards very well, rebounds, there was 1 shot per minute. We took the lead, 3-0, at first period.

Everyone cheered, got complacent. Second period was a heart attack, we made too many mistakes, and it ended at 5-3, to us.

Third period, everyone was tired, no one could focus, people started ball watching, nobody was there to cover teammates, goalie was overworked. Defenders lost their composure, forwards lost their will to attack and get back the ball. Centers got distracted and unable to command their line. 1 goal, 2, 3, and we managed to equalise, but another came in.

We lost, 7-6, with no one to blame, except ourselves.

Guys,
Have we did our best?
Have we carry out our responsiblities and roles?
Have we said "Not I but Us"?
Have we not make those foolish 2 minutes that caused powerplay against us for 18 minutes of the match?
Have we not chase back the ball?
Have we not ball watch?

I think we have wasted our time, for those who put in extra efforts was in vain.

Guys, the match is over, we still have somemore to go.
Please do your homework at home.
Touch your stick.
Train your passes, dribbles and shots.
Watch some videos.
Get better each time.

Alright on the good note, I am so happy that Im gonna head down to participate in the 24 hr floorball event! and its with JB's church mates, it will be VERY VERY FUN:D

No more emoing Mel, its time to move on, at least, on new year's day. Because the previous post was SO class 5. HAH

What will happen after I graduate? And after NS? what will adult hood be like? What will I be doing? What's my goal?

Hmm, food for thought.

Gonna go jogging! Bye

Why?

Years spent blindly
On a sport
But on the court
A laughing stock

1 year gone
We did not talk
When your gone
I did not stop

Last christmas
I gave you my heart
But this christmas
There's still a cut

Time on court
Eyes on bench
All I see
Your best friend

Maybe its time to move
I don't know
Time will prove
Time will show

Promises made
Are sad to say
They are gone
The next day

Girl and game
Which to choose
Both I want
I dare not lose

God is giving
God is kind
Im still living
Im glad its fine

I need a rant
But there is none
There is none
To hear me chant

Dear blog and so I say
That you're with me
All the way
